Guru Nanak — The First Sikh Guru: Complete Five-Volume Set English Graphic Novel Series | Sikh Comics
When Satguru Nanak emerged, the fog cleared and there was light
As if the sun rose and dispelled the darkness
— Bhai Gurdas
One extraordinary life. Five volumes. The most complete illustrated account of Guru Nanak's life ever published in graphic novel format.
In 1469, a child was born in Talwandi who would spend the next seventy years walking the world — from the peaks of Tibet to the shores of Sri Lanka, from the holy city of Mecca to the banks of the Bein River — carrying a message so simple and so radical that it shook every tradition, every orthodoxy, and every empire it touched:
There is no Hindu. There is no Muslim. All are children of One God.
This complete five-volume set follows Guru Nanak's extraordinary life from beginning to end — his birth into a society gripped by tyranny and empty ritual, his enlightenment at the Bein River, his four great udasis across the known world, his final years at Kartarpur, and his peaceful departure from this world — leaving behind flowers, and a faith that endures to this day.
Each volume is richly illustrated and extensively researched, with authentic verses from Sri Guru Granth Sahib woven throughout. Together, the five volumes form the most comprehensive illustrated account of Guru Nanak's life available — a complete library of sakhis, teachings, miracles, and history that no Sikh family, Sunday school, or library should be without.
What's in each volume:
Volume 1 — Birth to Enlightenment
Guru Nanak's birth in Talwandi, his extraordinary childhood, his refusal of the sacred thread, Sacha Sauda, his years in Sultanpur — and the moment he walked into the Bein River and emerged with a message for all of humanity.
Volume 2 — The First Udasi: Eastern India
From his declaration at Sultanpur to Haridwar, Tulumba, Gorakhmata, Varanasi, Patna, Kamrup, and Jagannath Puri — confronting thugs, demons, priests, and pilgrims at every step, and transforming every encounter into a lesson in grace.
Volume 3 — The First and Second Udasi: South India and Sri Lanka
The aarti composed by the sea at Jagannath Puri, the leper healed at Dipalpur, fresh water flowing at Nanak Jheera, a year spent with Raja Shivnabh of Sri Lanka — and the founding of Kartarpur on the banks of the River Ravi.
Volume 4 — The Third and Fourth Udasi: Tibet to Mecca
The 84 siddhas at Mt. Kailash, the miracle at Gurudongmar Lake, the loss of Bebe Nanaki, and the journey by ship to Arabia — culminating in the most celebrated sakhi of the entire series: the moment at the Kaaba when the Qazi tried to move Guru Nanak's feet and the holy shrine itself turned to follow them.
Volume 5 — Kartarpur and Legacy
The boulder stopped at Hasan Abdal. The Baburvani composed at Saidpur. The saint who came home to work his fields. The arrival of Bhai Lehna. The passing of Bhai Mardana. The succession of Guru Angad. And a final departure that left behind only flowers — and a Panth that changed the world.
